COMBINED LUNCH-BUCKET AND HEATER THEREFOR.

SIPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 440,107, dated November 4, 1890.

Application filed December 6, 1889.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LWILLIAM KIRKPATRICK, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at D enver, in the county of Arapahoe and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Lunch-Buckets and Heating Attachments Therefor; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to a new article of manufacture, consisting of a lunch-pail provided with a heating attachment located within one of its compartments, forminga cheap, convenient, and handy article especially designed for the use of all those mechanics, laborers, and others, forming a large proportion of the popul. tion of our country, who are obliged to carry their lunch and eat the same where the ordinary devices for warming and cooking food are not at hand, said device being of simple construction, economical in cost, and therefore within the reach of all, to which ends my invention consists of the features hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings is illustrated an embodiment of my invention, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the same, showing the door open and the coffee-can in position on the heater. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on the line a; 00, Fig. Fig. 3 is a front elevation with aportion of the end broken away to show the parts within. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the heating device, showing the same with the top raised or partially tipped back.

In these views let the reference-numeral 1 indicate the lunch-compartment proper of the receptacle.

2 is the usual receptacle secured to the cover of the pail, and S the ordinary cup turned over the same.

4 is a second compartment separated from compartment 1 by the partition 5.

Within compartment 4 is the heater 6 and the cofiee-can 7 in position thereon. The heater consists of an oil or fuel receptacle 8,

Serial No. 332,844. (No model.)

a burner communicating therewith and extending upwardly therefrom, a wick 10, extending from the fuel-receptacle up through the burner, and the top 11, supported upon legs 12, which are rigidly secured thereto and rest upon the top of the oil or fuel receptacle when the top is down or in the position shown in Figs. 1,2, and 3. The two rear supports or legs are turned inwardly and at right angles to the downward portion and hinged to the top of the fuel-receptacle at 20, so that the top 11 may be tipped back for the purpose of giving free access to the burner for the adjustment of the wick and also to afford easy access thereto for lighting purposes, as shown in Fig. 4. I

13 is an inlet through which fuel is introduced into the receptacle 8, said inlet being closed by a screw-cap 14, except during the time of replenishing the supply in the liquidreservoir.

he coffee-can,resting upon the top of the heater in compartment 4, is provided with a mouth 21, closed by a screw-cap 22. V

The end or side 16 of receptacle 4 is hinged at 17 and provided with a hook 18, by means of which it is secured to the main part, the hook entering the eye 19, as shown in Fig. 2.

In the use of the article the hinged side 16 is unhooked and dropped down to the position shown in Fig. 1. The heater and coffeecan are then removed from compartment 4 to the position shown in Fig. 1. The wick at the top of the burner is then lighted, forming a long blaze underneath the top of the heater. It will thus be seen that coffee in can 7, or any other article of food, may be quickly and easily warmed or heated to any degree desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The herein-described heater for lunchpails, consisting of the fuel-receptacle 8, burner 9, and top 11, provided with legs 12,whioh are rigidly secured thereto and support the top above the burner,

to the fuel-receptacle and capable of being raised or tipped back, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The herein-described heater for lunchpails, consisting of an oil or fuel receptacle 8, 9, and top 11, provided with legs 12,

a burner the top being hinged IOO which are rigidly secured thereto and supwith legs 12, rigidly secured thereto and support the top above the burner, the two rear porting the top above the burner, the rear legs being turned inwardly and at right anlegs 12 being hinged to the fuel-receptacle, I5 gles to the downward portion and hinged to so that the top may be raised or tipped back,

5 the top of the fuel-receptacle, so that the top substantially as and for the purpose set forth. may be raised or tipped back, substantially In testimony whereof I affix my signature in as and for the purpose set forth. presence of two Witnesses.
